Read over this very, very carefully and just.. say no to lasik. It's not worth the risk of being one of those 'rare few' (hah) who end up disabled from the side effects.

Lasik eye surgery is very safe nowadays. My cousin got her dental implants and Lasik surgery in India by a company called Indian Health Guru Consultants. The Price for dental and Lasik surgery is very less in India. She paid 25% of the price she was quoted in America.

Indian Health Guru Consultants is very famous in India They arrange Dental surgery, jaw surgery, Lasik eye surgery, Dental Implants etc for foreign patients in India. I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and magazines- about their patient stories.

They arrange financing for USA, Canadian, UK and other international patients who plan to have surgery abroad for low cost, as dental and eye surgery is not covered by insurance. They also have photos pasted of their International patients. You can checkout their website. There are huge cost savings. As a doctor I personally believe that surgery can be easily handled in India, as the quality of healthcare available In India is simply best in the world. The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.

Yes my husband had it done over 10 years ago, and he is very happy with the results, he actually could see better then anyone else around him.

I am thinking of having it done myself I've worn glasses for pretty much all my life, and it would be nice to wake up in the morning and not have to reach for them, or to see when I put my make-up on. The only downside for me would be I would still need glasses for reading, but heck I can deal with it.

Not yet.  And I have been considering it because of mild catarats.  But. . . check first and get informed.  This morning I heard vaguely something in the New York CIty Public Radio Station (wnyc.org).  I'm not sure since it was not possible to hear it well, but seems that there are new concerns about the effects and success of lasser eye surgery.  Get informed first would be my advice.  I have a co-worker that went through that surgery about a year ago and it has not done too much to improve his condition.

I suggest that you keep in mind that in our country, contrary to many others, the practice of medicine is nothing but one more business.  Health care is a commodity for purchase and sale and we are frequently seduced by ads designed to lure us into the doctor's office, just as we are lured to buy and eat junk food, etc.  Doctors believe more in hypocrisy than in Hipocrates.  Good luck.  Adian.

my mom got it done when it first got popular. She got lasik, it turned out horrible. She still wears glasses, in fact she has to wear a seperate pair of lenses for driving and reading. Then again my grandma had it done and it turned out wonderful. I guess it all has to do with how your eyes react
